PLUNGED INTO A FLOOD.
A RAILWAY DISASTER THAT WAS A
VERY CLOSE CALL

For Case of Wholesale Drowning-A
Lets a Carload of Passengers into the
water-only Two Lives Lost-TerribIe
Pit Catastrophe.
ST. LOUIS. Mo, March THE south
bound 1exas express on the Iron Mountain
railroad ran into a washed-out trestie few
miles north OF DeSoto, No, about midnight
Saturday The train consisted Of two bag
gage, one express, one smoking car, two
first class coaches and four sleepers, and
carried a all $50 passen GERS. The Memphis
express bad preceded the unlucky train only
a half hour previous and passed over 1t
safely. The train WI lch went through the
trestle was running at toe usual rate OF speed
and there was no warning OF the near ap-
proach to danger The structure gave way
under the aegdt of the train and the engine,
tender, two baggage cars, express car and
smoker plunged downward into the roaring
food beneath.
The storm had been sudden and heavy and
the waters came down the hills into the
creek almost as If they were a released tor
rent from IA reservoir. The volume Of water
had wonderfully increased within the few
minutes intervening between the passage Of
the two trains. The smoker had in it about
thirty passengers, who found themselve!
pgecipitajed into the rushing water. The
scene is described as Horrible one, mer
were clinging for their lives TO trees all over
the submerged bottom, the horror Of tht
wreck being supplemented by that OF DANCE
Of wholesale drowning. A relief train went
cat from the city and the work OF rescue was
at once begun. Many men were rescued
from small tree tops 10 which they had cluns
for hours.
Engineer Kelly and Fireman Hach wen
down with the engine and were suonerge'
in the food. Kelly, in his struggle to FIRE
himself, found that one OF his feet was he'll
fast, but at the same instant aud just as he
realized that he must drown, the engine
turned over, his foot was released, and b.
came to the surface. Selling passing log
he chung TO IT desperately, and was swep
down the torrent and lodged against ire
$50 yards below. With scarcely strength
enough 10 move be clasp his legs and arm
around the limb Of tree, became uncon
scious, a$d was not restored until two c
three hours afterward. He had been take
from the tree and kindly cared for in houS
in Victoris.
The killed SO far as reported are as follows
David Byron, machinist of DeSoto, No.
and Samuel Meyer, brakeman on the road
Besides these there were nine persons NOR

JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

Inc tHftcO Stdtcs SIEeult SouAe ~ NC
Held at Peoria, and Our Lawyers
Must go There--An Inconvenience.
Some time ago the ARGUS called at
tention to bill introduced in the upper
house of congress for the division of the
state of Illinois into judicial districts,
and providing for the holding of terms
of court for the northern district, which
includes Rock Island county, at Peoria.
The bill passed both houses of congress.
and one of the last acts of President
Cleveland before congress adjourned. was
to approve the bill, so that it is now a
law
The article appearing in the ARGUS at
the time mentioned resulted in the call
ing of a meeting of the bar at Mr.. Pars
mentors office in postoffice block,
aud committee was appointed to
press Rock Islands claims for
securing the seat of the court instead OF
Peoria. it being urged then as it was
many years before, that the building on
the point of the island owned by the
governn eat, would be most desirable
place for holding the sessions of the
Rock Island courts. This action was
probably taken too late.
The chief point in the objection raised
by the Rock Island bar to having the
court convene at Peoria is the incon'
venience in getting there. To have i
remain at Chicago would be much more
satisfactory to Rock Island attorneys, a:
that city may be reached by night travel
and the half day consumed in going
down to Peoria saved.

WASHINGTON CRITIC
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY o, 1851.
THE RUNAWAY MAIDEN.

Beside little broOklet
There sate little naidop,
Who conned a little booklet,
And exc was not afrailen,
Her glossy, sunny rlnglets
shone like as they were golden
An angel without winglets
This maiden wac, I'm tol1en.
She had q prettie ilowret
Within her hande we'll shspen,
For to this leafy boweret
The maiden had escapen
From gloomy convent outlet,
Which was, perchance, left open
She'd come here to poutlet,
And likewise for to mopcn.
But here she found the pamphlet,
Concerning which I've spoken
1t told about tramplet,
Which means man that's broken.
She read until the owlet
With boots awoke the wclkln;
Then she began to howlet
And, furthermore, to yelkln.
The wailing Of the damsel
Aroused neighboring hamlet
Folks thought It was lambsel
A-bleating for It's damlet.
When night began to darken
The western clouds or violet,
And wolves began to barken,
That little maid did diolet.

purpose OF promoting agricultural interests
in Congress said to-day that there are three
bills now pending which the association
desires to have passed, namely the De-

Industry bill and Agricultural Experiment
Station bill. They have been reported
by the Committee on Agriculture and are
in charge of Representative Hatch. They

Upon being asked whether farmers and
dairymen are satisfied with the oleomar-
garine law. President Reall said Eyes; it's
growing in popularity every day. There
was at first a disposition to complain Of
the tax not being high enough. but it is
found that the rate imposed, together with
licenses, gives producers OF butter a fair
protection. and as long as their opponents
comply with the law and butter can be
produced at the present cost l do not
think they will ask for any change in the
law"
